Braves Promote Walt Weiss to Manager to Succeed Brian Snitker

The internal hire underscores Atlanta's preference for continuity entering a pivotal offseason.

Overview

  • Atlanta announced Weiss as the 49th manager on Monday, elevating the bench coach who has been on staff since 2018.
  • Brian Snitker departs the dugout after a decade and will move into a senior advisory role with the organization.
  • Weiss previously managed the Rockies from 2013–16 with a 283–365 record and finished his playing career with the Braves.
  • The decision followed reports of external interest, including Dodgers bench coach Danny Lehmann, before the club chose to stay in-house.
  • Atlanta is coming off a 76–86 season, adding urgency to settle leadership ahead of free agency and offseason roster decisions.
